How to cook deliciously - Homemade Kumquat Marmalade
1. Stage
Inspect four 8-ounce jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until needed. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
2. Stage
Rinse kumquats; cut in half and remove seeds. Place in a food processor and process until coarsely chopped.
3. Stage
Combine kumquats and water in a saucepan. Stir in pectin and bring to a full rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Stir in sugar and vanilla; return to a full rolling boil. Boil and stir 1 minute.
4. Stage
Remove from heat; skim off foam. Ladle hot mixture into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.
5. Stage
Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 10 minutes.
6. Stage
Remove the jars from the stockpot and let rest, several inches apart, for 12 to 24 hours. Press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.
